Senate panel advances Biden's Israel ambassador nominee Jack Lew amid GOP opposition; full floor vote to follow.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee advanced President Biden's nominee pick for ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, on Wednesday, despite mounting Republican opposition. In a 12-9 vote, committee members voted to advance Lew during a closed business meeting. His nomination now heads to a full floor vote. Sen. Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer D-N.Y., indicated last week Democrats would move to quickly confirm him as war rages on in Israel. Every Republican on the committee, except Sen.
' REPUBLICANS GRILL BIDEN'S ISRAEL AMBASSADOR NOMINEE JACK LEW IN SENATE HEARING: 'WIN FOR IRAN' In January 2016, then-President Barack Obama announced a $400 million cash transfer to Iran that was part of a larger installment of a $1.7 billion settlement, for which Lew faced scrutiny. The settlement was part of a long-standing disagreement over an arms deal that was signed before the 1979 Iranian revolution, signifying the end of the nation's historical monarchy.
